BERLIN (Reuters) - Schalke 04's teenage Wales winger Rabbi Matondo apologised on Wednesday after being photographed wearing a shirt of the German club's arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund in a private training session this week.

Matondo was given a dressing down by Schalke officials after an Instagram post of him training in the shirt in a Cardiff fitness studio caused a social media storm among Schalke fans, whose Ruhr rivalry with Dortmund is long standing.

"I am very sad and disappointed in myself that I have let down everyone who feels connected with Schalke," he wrote on Instagram. "I was naive and put the jersey on for a private training session. The jersey was from my close friend Jadon Sancho. I only wore it because of Jadon, it had nothing to do with Dortmund," he added."He is only 19-years-old but he shouldn't have done that," said club spokesperson Jochen Schneider.

Matondo has been at Schalke since the start of 2019 after previously playing for Manchester City's youth team.
